(sliiuiwm 21?- mcuy con/corn:

it known that 1, Jason T. AJDERSOH, s citizen of also United States, and. residir New York, in the county of New York State (.1 New You, have invented. certain now and useful improvements in Electric Tank-Switches, of which she following is s spocificstion, such 'as will enable those skilled in the sr; m which it cppormins to and use the same.

This invention relates to elect-Tic switches and psit-icularlylo automatically opening closing switches which are. actuated upon by Hosts and counter-weights and which specifically devised for slowing and. shutting; down electric motors and pumps for filling tanks wish w who? or other ll] aids, and ills obj oct, '11s is effected by the oscillatoi'y" movements of switch mm respectively corro'spon g to ills low or highwotcr level in o ole; t lucli my apparatus is connected; and fu'r objocl; being topz'oviclo an appamu s which is si mole of construction, ofl'ectivo i. operation and positivc in its action; and with 'i-lioso and other objects in View the invcuicu consists in :1 device of the class specified. constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a para in which the separate parts of my improvement are dcsignoted by suitable reference clmi'actois in each of the views, and in whiclg Figure 1 is a. side View of my apparatus with the from plate tho co'vsl roinovcd iliorcby expo Lilo im'loi'io'r. of the samc Fig. 2 end view looking toward ills also trio sw' 11 contact points; and, li;z,. on View in opposite dircciion.
